[Review] No Straight Roads
Posted on 4 years ago by Campbell(@CampbellSGill) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: August 25, 2020
Developer: Metronomik
Publisher: Sold Out
No Straight Roads is a prime example of a game that is more than the sum of its parts. Its gameplay may be decent at best for the most part, but its constant explosion of beautiful art, vibrant colors, and glorious music make it an overall unforgettable experience that needs to be played firsthand to be fully appreciated. This makes it all the more unfortunate that its aesthetics are heavily compromised in its Switch version, sullying its single greatest selling point.

However, he did confirm that the team’s next project is moving along. And while we don’t have any specifics, Okunari suggested that we may still see additional re-releases on Switch in the future.

Next issue of Nintendo Dream revealing a Switch game “that everyone will enjoy”
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Nintendo Dream‘s latest edition has an interesting teaser for its next issue. In September, the Japanese magazine will apparently be revealing a Switch game “that everyone will enjoy”.
Unfortunately, no additional information is available. While it sounds like Nintendo Dream may have a scoop, it’s not entirely clear if a different source will beat them to the punch with the news. Also note that while Nintendo’s Dream context indicates that this is a single announcement, Japanese doesn’t easily differentiate between plural and singular.
